Strong Communities
Through the Early Intervention Program, NAPPR provides a wide range of home-based educational and developmental services to Native American families with infants or toddlers with delays or at risk for delays. Our Developmental Specialists and Service Coordinators are trained to help children grow, learn, and develop regardless of their ability or developmental progress.
Some of the services provided by our staff include:
Developmental Screening and Monitoring
Our staff performs screenings to measure the developmental progress of the children we serve. Children who receive ongoing services from us continue to receive monitoring and additional screenings to measure progress.
Assessment and Evaluation
Additional testing may be performed to provide additional information to determine a child’s eligibility and need for other services.
